Hot on the heels of attacking Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a serial gang-rapist who should not be allowed around children, Democrats are wondering if its time to be more ruthless, Politico reports.
John F. Harris writes in Politico that many top Democratic operatives have the fear that their party loses big power struggles because Republicans are simply tougher, meaner, more cynical and more ruthless than they are.
"A belief in ones own virtue feels good. Losing a battle that could shape the American political landscape for decades feels bad. The tension between the two left some Democrats grappling anew this weekend with the implications: Maybe they really are the Wet Rag Party.
They are more ruthless, said Jennifer Palmieri, who over a quarter-century has served as a top aide to Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And I dont want to be like them.
The answer cant be for Democrats to be just as cynical." ...

Keep digging that hole deeper democrats... it's worked for you so far...
A former friend who likes to identify as “independent” but is in fact nothing more than a liberal who cannot remember the talking points du jour, so sometimes he goes off script anyways, his explanation as to why what happened to Kavanaugh was OK was because Merrick Garland was not on the court.
Arkancide taken to a national level.
Intolerant homophobic Christian bigotry. But that will draw a clearer line in the sand than the murky sex allegations against Kavanaugh. There wont be nearly as much automatic sympathy among the general public for Barretts accusers. Less likely to result in delays and a razor-thin vote, but more likely to lead to street violence by oppressed groups.
That’s right! Purge anyone named Ruth from the party. Then they can claim they are 100% Ruthless.
I sure hope her record is as squeaky clean as Kavanaugh’s.
Pollutico shilling for the violent left, which is to say, the left.
The lib/dems are going to find out what it means to be
Ruth-less in the next year.
Who are you? You never respond to your threads or on FR..or are you just a drive by poster.....NEWBIE!
They’re gonna keep her alive with machines until one of their people win the white house.
I didn’t mind either .... except for the bandwidth on his site isn’t sufficient and couldn’t host too many items or stand up to the traffic of having too many articles.
I wish Clarence Thomas would retire now.
Not that I have anything against him!!
But it would give Trump another chance to get a long term conservative on the bench.
And he deserves it! He put up with a lot of crap to get there.
I would love to see him go on a speaking tour.
Heh... by 2020, President Trump will have one or two more SCOTUS appointments to make, and by 2024 a couple more.
Stalin smiles
Oh yes, by all means do more to make yourselves the party of hate , violence and division. Just like the Democrats did in 1861.
I love that they think the GOP is the ruthless ones, and I hope they get a ‘lot more ruthless’, although I don’t know what that would look like, attempting to destroy the reputation of the most establishment bland choir-boy we could pick for a justice seems like it was quite a stretch.
About what I’d expect a bunch of low-down lying hypocritical crooks. What gall, though!
I’m praying rbg won’t die until AFTER midterms.
No.
